Launch of Hedgerow Farm
We officially launched the Hedgerow Farm project and announced in principal support for a joint venture with the Earthworker co-operative. Over the next week or so this should be firmed up as we dot the I's and cross the T's.
Bank Support and more Lease Holders
Bank said that our business case was probably strong enough to give us a loan but required additional details. Encouraged us to improve our chances by supplying more detail on our markets for fish and vegetables plus adding a few more leases on the farm.
Business Plan finalised
After a lot of research and planning, our Business plan is finalised.
